Editor At present the policy in regard to land use in this province is a ma lor disaster We are In effect forcing people to leave the land using the argument that it is better and more economic to have fewer farmers on larger units of land The objects to this rapid un planned and unjust division of people from the land in this province We In the fed that we are losing people who have valuable skills SUlb that feed us and with which we cannot do without In almost all cases farmers who have left the land cannot be blamed From the sale of their land they set the money they need for retirement and this they deserve Unfortunately some farms that were once productive are now owned and run by ob- Ontario must be kept a food producing region Instead of an asphalt covered parking lot This will involve direct challenge to speculators who are at present willing to sell Ontario for any abuse as long as It is profitable We can t continue as we are and escape the consequences of the toss of the owners who are In effect making a hobby out of the way of life of several generations of Canadian farmers We suggest that there must be a planned land policy In this province This policy would ensure that young men and women with farming skills can afford to stay on the President Wellington Riding Association i The Acton Free Press Wednesday Juno 1973 Miss Mrs Geo Wallace and Mrs Gordon Johnston
